Posted June 6, 2016 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 13 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Another clever, uproariously funny entry into the Sin du Jour series, with even more non-stop action and supernatural craziness. “Tag, you know ‘half-and-half’ is a pejorative use of an ableist term,” Jett chastises. “Both the minotaur contingent and the centaur contingent find it highly offensive—” “Oh-my-god-Jett-whatever,” Dorsky groans. “They’re a bunch of dudes […]

What’s On My Plate – June 2016
Posted June 2, 2016 by Tammy in What's On My Plate / 18 Comments

Welcome to What’s On My Plate, my monthly post where I attempt to organize my reading and blogging life:-) Another month has flown by and we’re nearly half way through the year already! How can that be? This month I’ve got an overwhelming amount of review books on tap, and so this post is more […]

ROSES AND ROT by Kat Howard – Review

ROSES AND ROT by Kat Howard – Review
Posted May 31, 2016 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 12 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A dreamy and magical story about fairy tales, real and imagined. Happily ever after is the dropping of a curtain, a signal for applause. It is not a guarantee, and it always has a price. From the moment I saw this darkly atmospheric cover, I knew I had to read Roses and Rot. […]

THE VOODOO KILLINGS by Kristi Charish – Review

THE VOODOO KILLINGS by Kristi Charish – Review
Posted May 30, 2016 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 22 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A twisty plot full of zombies, ghosts, murders, magic and mayhem, darkly atmospheric with Charish’s special brand of snarky humor. The way Cameron’s pupils focused on me, part of him still had to be in there. There was no way he was a four-line, permit-friendly zombie—the temporary kind you were still allowed to […]

Over-Booked [49] – A Book Haul Post
Posted May 28, 2016 by Tammy in Over-Booked / 18 Comments

Welcome to Over-Booked, my “couple times a month” post where I share my most recent book acquisitions. I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at The Caffeinated Book Reviewer. Nice, light book haul today, which is great, since I’m SO far behind with review books! Physical books for […]

SLEEPING GIANTS by Sylvain Neuvel – Review

SLEEPING GIANTS by Sylvain Neuvel – Review
Posted May 26, 2016 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 18 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A fascinating concept, political intrigue, plenty of mysteries, but written in a format that might not work for every reader. I love reading hyped books like Sleeping Giants, because I like to form my own opinions. Sleeping Giants has received all sorts of starred reviews from review journals, but in the blogging community, […]

CENTRAL STATION by Lavie Tidhar – Review

CENTRAL STATION by Lavie Tidhar – Review
Posted May 23, 2016 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 14 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Intricate and otherworldly, emotional and thought provoking, Tidhar’s vision of the future is both familiar and alien at the same time. With each season a new godling appeared in the streets and alleyways of Central Station. They were nebulous things, more than human, less than Other, like semi-sentient sculptures which straddles both the […]
